I am going to be full-timing next winter and have been working on getting the 5th wheel ready. My main concerns are safety. One of the things I was considering doing was putting a space heater in the basement compartment where the water tanks and lines are. However, I am not very comfortable leaving a heater down there unattended. I have read in this thread that others have done it. Doesn't it worry anyone else? Is there some trick that makes it safer?
The water pipe only sticks up out of the ground less than a foot. I could either back over the top of it so that it is under my rig which will have insulated skirting, or I could back up close to it and then build a dog house over it with insulation. The advantage of the dog house would be I could check on the pipe without taking my skirting off. But, which would be safer?
Do any of you full-timers leave your rig unattended for a couple of days with the heat on while you go visit the grandkids, or do you winterize it every time you leave for a weekend?
Do any of you connect your propane hose to a larger tank like a 250 gal tank, or do you only use the 100 pound cylinders?
